Knutsford Road Swing Bridge
Higher Knutsford Road, Grappenhall WA4 1JS, United Kingdom
(A50)
Knutsford Road Swing Bridge carries a farm track over the Manchester Ship Canal (Main Line) just past the junction with Sir Benjamin Outram's Canal.
Early plans of what would become the Manchester Ship Canal (Main Line) were drawn up by Cecil Smith in 1782 but problems with Southend Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. Expectations for limestone traffic to Crewe were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In Nicholas Harding's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Guildford Embankment during a thunderstorm.
